Our Mission — Quit for Cause

Mission

The Quit For Cause Foundation connects Americans who are quitting smoking with existing charities, using the money previously spent on cigarettes towards charitable donations. Our events and online resources unite, motivate and support smokers to quit and stay smoke free while empowering them to make a real difference in the lives of others.

Vision

Change the world – one less cigarette at a time

History

Smokers exist in a fringe of society, and are silently viewed with disdain. The act of quitting is not one to be celebrated, because the act of smoking is considered so offensive. Support groups that seek to help smokers quit mostly focus on the weakness, or the common pain of quitting. This perpetuates the piteous victimization of the smoker while at the same time fails to channel the quitting act into any type of productive societal endeavor. The smoker who quits is still marginalized, and is quitting purely for him or herself. The emotional satisfaction derived from the success of quitting, unfortunately, is often overshadowed by the difficulty and loneliness of the journey.

Quit for Cause is a grass-roots movement that was born in November 2009 out of the need for an alternative - a united, positive approach to quitting smoking. It is the only existing organization that unites and empowers smokers who want to quit and offers them a positive and emotionally rewarding way of doing so.
